Old North Columbus blends historic character with everyday convenience, where century-old porches and indie storefronts share the spotlight. Just north of Columbus’s University District, it hums along High Street with coffeehouses, record shops, and late-night eats—think a classic slice at the neighborhood staple Hounddog’s Three Degree Pizza. When you want a breather, the wooded ravine and footpaths of Glen Echo Park offer a quiet counterpoint just a few blocks from the action.
Families appreciate access to Columbus City Schools, while proximity to The Ohio State University expands opportunities for research, arts, and lifelong learning. The area is well served by COTA bus lines on High Street, and the Olentangy Trail is an easy bike connection for commuters and weekend riders alike. For resources beyond the classroom, the modern Northside Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library sits just to the south, delivering robust programming for all ages.
Housing spans stately brick foursquares, tidy bungalows, and subdivided turn-of-the-century homes, attracting a mix of long-time residents, first-time buyers, and students. Community feels authentic here—local music nights, neighborhood cleanups, and quick walks to nearby Clintonville for markets and additional dining round out daily life.
